Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance Reconnaissance (C4ISR)

DRC assists defense organizations in procuring and fielding the C4ISR systems that provide vital situational information to the commander and soldier on the ground. DRC has been supporting C4ISR systems for more than 20 years, providing a full spectrum of engineering and management services. Examples of our past performance include:

  • Battle Management Weapon Systems - DRC provides technical management support and acquisition management services for the E-8 JSTARS, E-10 Multi-Sensor Command and Control Aircraft System (MC2A) and mission planning groups. Areas of support included requirements analysis, functional decomposition, system/subsystem synthesis, analysis and control, technology planning and transition support, airframe militarization, Battle Management Command Control (BMC2) integration, counter IED exploitation, radar improvements, sustainment engineering, enterprise integration, communications migration to Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS, software engineering, security engineering, configuration management, logistics engineering, and system verification.

  • Network Centric Operations - DRC coordinates and manages tactical data link (TDL) networks, training, software, and hardware requirements, and provides data link logistics, training, and network planning. Our support covers data link issues for all mission areas in coordination with the Air Force Network Design Facility, Joint Network Design Library, other services, and MAJCOM training and operations offices. DRC is the Air Force Command and Control, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Center (AFC2ISRC) subject matter expert on Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL) and has been a major contributor to program accomplishment leading to continuation of the A/OA-10 Precision Engagement program and upgrading of communication capabilities to JTRS and the platform.

  • Operations Support Systems - DRC plans, implements, and evaluates all operational and logistics capabilities for present and future combat forces requirements including all Agile Combat Support (ACS) and Air Force Forces (AFFOR) Aerospace Applications and Support requirements into the GCCS-AF.

  • Space Sensor Systems, Missile Warning and Defense Sensors, Air Operations Center (AOC) Systems, and Global C2 Systems - DRC performs test management, test manager training, configuration management/control, system safety, Operational Risk Management (ORM), logistics, Operational Safety, Suitability and Effectiveness (OSS&E), training coordination, financial management, acquisition support, and systems engineering services. We support all 26 Combatant Commanders' Command and Control Systems Group programs, including worldwide missile warning and defense and space control sensor systems.

  • CAF C2/BMC3 - DRC provided the CAF C2 SPO with acquisition, training, and business management services. As lead integrator, we executed a total of 26 C4ISR program and enterprise tasks, and we implemented management innovations that reduced the CAF C2 SPO operating costs and overhead by 22%. Our contributions helped the program receive the ESC's Albert J. Shiely award for program management.

  • Program/Project Engineering - Our certified Microsoft Project schedulers build and maintain schedules to interface between labor accounting system, electronic Management Tracking System (eMTS) to provide earned value metrics for all programs. We assist programs in defining and collecting software measurements/metrics and implementing standard reporting of performance data.

  • Systems Engineering/Systems Architecting - DRC provided multi-year systems engineering support working with the Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) Directorate (SID) Systems Engineering Office (SEO) and the Unified cryptologic Architecture Office (UCAO), and with several individual resource and monitoring systems across the U.S. Cryptologic system. We conducted analysis, defined and managed requirements, and documented enterprise architecture and DoD Air Force functionality and interoperability of the systems-of-systems, across the Intel community. Our work has provided the groundwork for a multi-year effort that would combine the attributes of service-based architecture, and both the Net-Centric Operations and Warfare (NCOW) Reference Model and the DoD Global Information Grid (GIG).

  • Process Engineering and Business Management (PEBM) - DRC supports many SIGINT projects including DoD Acquisition Category I (ACATI) programs as they transform the way they do business. DRC's consultants are building a new technology platform, tools, and processes using their expertise in Enterprise Architecture Frameworks such as the DoD C4ISR/AF and the Zachman Framework.
